My email jogged quite a few people, I think we're fine.

The 60-100 is a worst case scenario. I think we'll be fine with 50 GBP
per person in total, but I can't guarentee that. For exmaple, with 50
GBP we'll get a semi-detached house without much hassle, but a detached
cottage would be far more preferable. It also depends on numbers, so
it's more expensive if few people come.

Also, I'm hopeful of some sponsorship.

But really, I think we're cool, lots of people want to come but I have
to jog you all to pay up :-)

have fun,
